A '''playground song''' is a type of song mostly sung by children on a playground, hence their name. Unlike [[nursery rhymes]], which are mostly of medieval [[Europe]]an origin, most playground songs are ahistorical and only date back to no earlier than the 20th century. They also tend to be rather "silly" as opposed to having any true meaning.
